Cannot Set Sorting Layer Name in Nested Canvas Prefab
We have a nested Canvas Prefab (meaning, a canvas within another canvas) that needs to have a sorting layer. When the prefab is in the scene, we are able to set the sorting layer. However when we are in prefab mode, the sorting layer drop-down disappears. We noticed that the sorting layer drop-down somehow reappears if we: 1. Deactivate the prefab 2. Add a new component
We tried creating a custom editor script that sets the sorting layer name on the canvas. But it only works in the scene and not in the prefab view.
Debug.Log(nextSortingLayerName); // prints new sorting layer
canvas.sortingLayerName = nextSortingLayerName;
Debug.Log(canvas.sortingLayerName); // sorting layer has not changed

Sorry for commenting on an old post, but I'd like to echo that this is still happening. Except for us it's happening within the scene hierarchy too. We've been using a utility script to change the sorting layer at runtime. Is there some secret condition that needs to be satisfied for the sorting layer option to appear consistently?
